Dear friends, family, and generous supporters,

We’re reaching out to share an incredible opportunity for an amazing young athlete — Aleksandr “AJ,” an 11-year-old pitcher, third baseman, and outfielder whose love for baseball runs deep.

AJ has been on the diamond since he was just 4 years old. Over time, he has grown into a determined, hardworking player who pours his heart into every inning — whether he’s throwing strikes from the mound, guarding the corner at third, chasing down fly balls in the outfield, or cheering loudly from the dugout. AJ plays with passion, grit, and respect for the game.

This summer, AJ and his team have the chance of a lifetime — to compete in Cooperstown, New York, the legendary home of the Baseball Hall of Fame, in a prestigious, week-long tournament in June 2026. This experience is something young players get only once — the summer they turn 12 — and it’s a dream AJ has worked so hard to reach.

This tournament is about more than baseball. It’s about teamwork, growth, and memories that will last a lifetime. AJ has earned his spot, and we want to make sure nothing stands in the way of him stepping onto that field.

We’re asking for your support to help cover the expenses of travel, lodging, tournament fees, and equipment. Any contribution — big or small — brings AJ one step closer to living out this once-in-a-lifetime dream.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your kindness, encouragement, and generosity. Let’s rally together to send AJ to Cooperstown and make this special dream a reality! ⚾

With love and gratitude,

The Figueredo Family
